It has been reported that Chelsea are ready to sell Batshuayi in the summer transfer window for £40 million with Timo Werner set to join from RB Leipzig.
Palace have already enquired about the Belgium international, but the Eagles do not want to pay the £40 million that the Blues are asking, according to the report.
Newcastle are interested in the 26-year-old as well, according to the report, but it is West Ham who are the frontrunners for the former Standard Liege and Marseille striker.
Leaving Chelsea
Tammy Abraham is the first-choice striker at Chelsea at the moment, and the England international will be competing with Werner for a place in the starting lineup next season.
With Olivier Giroud set to stay at Stamford Bridge for another season, it is going to be extremely hard for Batshuayi to get much playing time during the 2020-21 campaign, and it would make sense for him to explore his options this summer.
